[Florence Colgate]:
“I had to send in a picture wearing no make-up and from that I got called to say I got through into the top 5 out of 8000 people. It’s just unbelievable. Honestly, I did not expect to get this far at all."
弗罗伦斯‧寇儿盖特说：“我得送去一张没有化妆的照片，然后我从8,000人中挤进前五名，真是不可思议。坦诚说，我一点没有预期到会这样。”
The competition wasn’t just about subjective beauty – it was settled with science.

[Florence Colgate]:
“I haven’t really noticed. Obviously you still get your regulars who come in every week. I don’t know, it’s a busy fish and chip shop anyway."
弗罗伦斯‧寇儿盖特说：“我并没有真正受到注意，很明显地，每周会来的客人仍然会来，我不知道，这是一家很忙碌鱼洋芋片店。”
Colgate plans to study business management at university, unless of course, a lucrative modeling contract shows its face.
